Copyright Silca 2017 13

ATTENTION: the knobs are gauged so that they do not exert too muchpressure for closing (if pressure is too high they only idle), which woulddamage the key and the parts of the clamp (including the knob).

To turn the clamps:With loosened handle (E) a light rotation of the clamp is sufficient(gripping by the 2 jaws) to turn it to the required side. Alignment isautomatic and guaranteed by the mobile pressure device (D5) (fig. 12).

Fig. 12

Note: before starting to cut a key the V100 clamp gauge goes automatically to the idle position so there is no need tolower it, but the R100 clamp gauge must be lowered manually.

USING THE PINS

Copying with the optical reader

For keys with narrow stems the pins must be placed between the bottom ofthe clamp and the back of the key so that the key protrudes sufficiently out ofthe clamp and therefore can be properly read and cut.If the key has a narrow stem and is also very thin, 2 pins must be used (fig.13).

Fig. 13

If the original key is broken, place a suitable sized pin in the groove of the keys stem so that it is properly held in placeand therefore can be copied (fig. 14).

Note: the diameter of the pin used for the original key must be the same as that of the pin used for the blank key; onlyin this way will the two keys be locked in the same position.

4.2 CUTTING BY ELECTRIC CONTACT

The UNOCODE PRO key-cutting machine is equipped with a low voltage electrical contact device which permits thecutter to individualize the key blank as it approaches the cutter during the cutting phase (fig. 15).

Fig. 15

This technical solution permits the operator to secure the key to the more appropriate side of the 4 faced clamp (A, B, Cor D) therefore improving the grip on the key and eliminating the need of pins and/or adaptors.With the electrical contact card enabled, depth calibration is automatically calculated when the cutter touches the keysprofile during the cutting process.Electrical contact is guaranteed for keys in steel, brass, silver nickel, Zamak or iron (with or without nickel-plating).

• Press F2 to enable or disable the electrical contact function to read the key blank measurements.

The symbol * in the clamp field means that the key will be cut reading the keyblank measurements by electrical contact.A red “X” on the electrical contact icon means that it has been disabled.

Note: some cutting cards do not include electrical contact. In such cases the software does not allowediting.

4.2.1 IMPROPER USE OF ELECTRIC CONTACTIt is not permitted to cut ultralite anodized aluminium keys, plastic keys or any keys with materials thatdo not have electrical conductivity by means of electric contact.

ATTENTION: for these types of materials, insert standard cutting.

Cuts cannot be repeated on the same side of the key when electric contact cutting is used.

All data cards provided by Silca are in the machine’s memory. The cards are enabled or disabled for code cutting byelectric contact at Silca’s discretion.

4.3 FITTING THE CLAMP TO THE MACHINE

To remove the clamp unit:

- loosen the grub screw (D2) (fig. 16) and slide the clamp out of thedovetail guide.

To install the clamp unit on the machine:

- slide the clamp into the dovetail guide, pushing it all the way in,then secure it by tightening the grub screw (D2).

These instructions refer exclusively to the standard clamp (V100).For the use of optional clamps please refer to the instructionsprovided along with them.

Fig. 16

4.4 CUTTER

The majority of keys utilize the standard cutter for code cutting. Only in certain cases some special keys with particulartype cuts require different cutters.To change the cutter see chapter 4.5.

4.5 CHANGING THE CUTTER

1) raise the protective shield.2) remove the cutter protective shield (i) by loosening the screw (i2).3) slide the cutter release rod (X) into the hole located on the left side of the machines cutter shaft chassis (fig. 17).4) loosen the cutter locking nut (turning it clockwise) with the19 mm socket wrench (X1) provided with the machine.

ATTENTION: the thread is left-handed.

5) replace the cutter, then tighten the nut (turning it counter-clockwise) and remove the rod from its hole.6) place the cutters protective shield (i) back into position securing it with the screw (i2).

6.5.1 SPECIAL CASES

• Cutting a key with two asymmetrical sidesOperational keys: use the [up/down] arrow keys to be able to visualize all data.Proceed with the cutting process.

• Cuts not allowedWhen the machine is used manually with certain data cards, it may not be possible to carry out certain entered combina-tions. This happens when the cutting depths are not compatible in the order the user entered the possible cuts.

Example:

After entering the cutting combination the Silca software calculatesthe validity of the data. If there is inconsistency, when the ENTER keyis pressed the following message appears:

This message is explained below.

The reason for the conflict between certain cuts is explained simply inthe case shown.With regard to the cut that originated the message <NON-FEASIBLECOMBINATION> it can be seen that between the two deep cuts (8)and the constant angle (100°) the intermediate cut (0) would beremoved.This happens when the cutting angle N (Normal) is not made variableby means of the type of cut L (Laser).

Fig. 24

The new drawing of the key shows how for the same cutting process(80846) the cutting angles are automatically calculated by the conjunc-tion of the cutting base with a straight line.This aspect, admissible with certain car keys, is more commonlyknown as ‘the ideal cutting line’.

ATTENTION: in this example it can be seen that the ß angle is lessthan 45°. This could cause serious problems with a lock, making itdifficult or impossible to place the key into the cylinder or remove it.

Control of the combinations in the Options menu can in any case be disabled.

• Changing the Types of CutAll the data cards provided by Silca have the type of cut pre-set according to the original parameters.The types of cut possible with UNOCODE PRO are: Normal, Flat, Laser and Vertical.

EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CHANGE THE TYPE OF CUT:

- Press F1 key.

All the technical data regarding the types of cuts stored in the machine’s memory can be changed according to the user’srequirements.

ATTENTION: for certain cutting methods the standard cutter U01W must be replaced with a specific cutter.

NORMAL

For conventional car and door keys.

FLAT

Mainly used for car keys where the cut edges are rounded tofacilitate the movement of the blades when the key is put into thelock.

LASER

Conjunction of the cutting angles is determined automatically bythe machine, allowing cuts to be made with variable angles; thisfacilitates the smooth entry of the key into the lock, prolongingthe working life of the key.

VERTICAL

Necessary for special keys with small bits (Silca art. FO19P,FO21P...) where a special cutter is required. When this cutting method is used a special angled cutter isneeded.
